Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly peeked outside, and when she saw who had arrived, she let out a sigh of relief and quickly moved aside the leaves that had been used for concealment. It was the Snail Village Chief returning. Seeing that both of them were safe, especially that Ladybug's condition had improved, the Snail Village Chief finally felt at ease. He was genuinely pleased; Xiao Zhuzi had really grown quite a bit.
He then took out two green plants with small white flowers and said to Xiao Zhuzi and Hua Hua, "Look, this is what I managed to find with great difficulty. This plant is called Scattering Blood Grass. It not only stops bleeding and disperses blood but also has excellent healing properties for wounds and accelerates recovery." He instructed Xiao Zhuzi, "Crush one of them and apply it directly to Ladybug's wound, and let her take the other one orally."
Xiao Zhuzi wasted no time and quickly got to work. The Snail Village Chief stayed by Ladybug's side, closely monitoring her condition. As expected, Scattering Blood Grass lived up to its reputation; after using the medicine, Ladybug's wound quickly showed signs of scabbing, and her pain noticeably lessened. The Snail Village Chief finally relaxed; he arranged for Xiao Zhuzi to bandage Ladybug's injured wings with clean grass leaves. Once everything was taken care of, the Snail Village Chief and Xiao Zhuzi stood guard outside the tree hollow so that Ladybug could rest peacefully.
Xiao Zhuzi relayed Hua Hua's situation to the Snail Village Chief and then expressed her thoughts: "Wise Snail Village Chief, I was thinking, since Hua Hua also needs to go to Xian Cao Garden to deliver a message to Dragonfly Elder, and we're headed in the same direction, why not take her along? That way we can look out for each other on the way. What do you think?"
"Well..." The Snail Village Chief appeared hesitant. "We don't know how much Hua Hua can recover. If we take her along on a bumpy journey, it might not be good for her recovery... Perhaps we could help her deliver the message to Dragonfly Elder instead?"
Xiao Zhuzi thought for a moment before replying, "Hmm... I think Hua Hua might not agree to that. I already tried asking her what the message was earlier, but she didn't say anything. Maybe Mr. Hummingbird has asked her to keep it confidential; she can't just tell anyone."
"I see..." The Snail Village Chief pondered for a moment before nodding. "In that case, let's ask Hua Hua later. If she wants to come with us, then she can join us on our journey. Before that, though, let's let her rest for a while longer until it gets dark."
Afterward, they both began preparing for their upcoming journey. The Snail Village Chief carefully checked the four-wheeled cart and reinforced it; Xiao Zhuzi filled all the water bottles with fresh water and found some blueberries nearby as backup food. Time passed slowly as darkness began to fall, and soon Hua Hua woke up.
As the Snail Village Chief secured the four-wheeled cart onto himself alongside Xiao Zhuzi, he asked Ladybug, "Hua Hua, we're also heading to Xian Cao Garden to find Dragonfly Elder. Since you need to rest due to your injuries, how about we help you deliver your message instead? Don't worry; we'll make sure everything is taken care of."
Hua Hua shook her head firmly and replied, "Snail Village Chief, Xiao Zhuzi, thank you for your kindness, but I promised Mr. Hummingbird that this message is crucial for the peace and safety of the entire Grass Leaf Forest. I must deliver it myself!"
The Snail Village Chief and Xiao Zhuzi exchanged glances, both wearing expressions that said "as expected." Xiao Zhuzi bounced over to Ladybug with excitement and said cheerfully, "Alright then, Hua Hua! You can join us on our journey! With us around, you'll definitely reach Dragonfly Elder safely!"
Hua Hua looked at Xiao Zhuzi’s outstretched hand and then turned her gaze towards the smiling Snail Village Chief waiting for her response. She felt her heart swell with emotion. She nodded vigorously: "Okay! Let's travel together! My wings don’t hurt much anymore; I believe I’ll be able to fly again soon! Then we’ll truly be the 'Ground Sky Squad'!"
"Ground Sky Squad? Wow, that's such a cool name!" Xiao Zhuzi absolutely loved it! She excitedly did several cartwheels until she plopped down on the ground with a giggle. Both the Snail Village Chief and Hua Hua couldn't help but laugh at this scene; Xiao Zhuzi hadn't felt this happy in a long time since her unexpected transformation had left her feeling small.
"Yay yay yay yay! The Ground Sky Squad is officially formed! Let's set off!"
And so, under the cover of nightfall, the three members of the Ground Sky Squad continued their journey towards Xian Cao Garden in search of Dragonfly Elder.
